Infinite?  It's only supposed to start 25000*nr_cpus*TIME_FACTOR
operations, so it /should/ conclude eventually.  That includes driving
the filesystem completel out of space, but there ought to be enough
unlink/rmdir/truncate calls to free up space every now and then...

...so IDGI, this test works as intended.  Are you saying that NFS
command overhead is so high that this test takes too long?
